The first season blew me away it was so good. So much so that I'm very deliberatly NOT reading the books, though, you know, I'm itching to.

My reasoning is that there are a lot of really good Fantasy book series out there (I believe we're in something of a golden age for Fantasy Literature) but only ONE really good Fantasy TV series.* So I'll make the most of the TV series by not spoiling the suprises and plot twists for myself. Once the show is cancelled or catches up with the books I'll go back and start the first book.

*and True Blood, but that's a different kettle of fish

Book and Series are a relatively good match to be honest.
